### Acceptance of the Terms of Use

These terms of use are entered into by and between You and Slate ( **"Company"**, **"we"**, or **"us"**). The following terms and conditions ( **"Terms of Use"**) govern your access to and use of slate.auto, including any content, functionality and services offered on or through slate.auto (the **"Website"**), whether as a guest or a registered user.

THESE TERMS OF USE REQUIRE THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTION. PLEASE REFER TO THE ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER SECTION BELOW.

Please read the Terms of Use carefully before you start to use the Website. **By using the Website, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy, found at** [**https://slate.auto/privacy**](/content/privacy/index.html) **, incorporated herein by reference.** If you do not want to agree to these Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the Website.

### ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

These Terms of Use require dispute resolution to occur through binding arbitration, rather than in a court of law. Disputes concerning the validity, application, scope, enforceability, or interpretation of this section will be exclusively decided by the arbitrator in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C.C § 1 et seq. and federal common law. However, either party may bring claims in small claims court if they meet the jurisdictional limits that apply in that forum and either party may file a court suit to enjoin intellectual property rights infringement or to enforce the arbitrator's decision.

### Changes to the Terms of Use

We may revise and update these Terms of Use from time to time at our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately upon posting and apply to all access to and use of the Website thereafter. Your continued use of the Website following the posting of revised Terms of Use means that you accept and agree to the changes.
